Sharky Watch LIVE
Please allow me to briefly play devils advocate, just to stir things up a little.
How many frontline FJ Sqns does the RAF have? Ooh ooh, pick me, I know that one - 9.
How many frontline FJ Sqns does the RN have? Ooh ooh, me again - 0. Although I acknowledge there is a cadre currently operating in the US (I know most of them).
So here is my question which I hall leave you to debate. Since UK PLC is currently out of the habit of operating FJs from boats (I say that deliberately because I know how it annoys the Fishheads) who would you turn to in order to reinstigate the capability? The organization that has no FJs but a lot of (historic) carrier experience, or the organization with lots (relatively speaking) of FJs but much less carrier experience? Which organization should take primacy in such a situation?
Or could they indeed work together towards a common goal (as is currently the plan!)?
